$15 postage but thanks for the suggestion :c

Need a single SKCM brown switch to repair a board. Ideally I'd like to buy from europe to keep postage costs low. Thanks

This could've been a lot cleaner but I'm happy with the outcome. Next time I'll just trace the matrix so I can preserve the PCB. I have done it with white label Z-150 . good thing my PCB was already badly damaged then! if I ever come across one in better condition, I'll use that guide for converting.

Finally finished....

99% of the issues have been fixed by adding a longer debounce time and bit shifting the columns which I forgot to do in the first place. Sadly a few switches are bad so I'm gonna have to desolder and clean them. about 6 switches intermittently send multiple characters so I might have to increase deb...

Hey everyone, I apologise for the blueballs but some stuff came up as per usual so I've not had much time to work on this. From where I left the project: I originally intended to trace the matrix and wire it with a Teensy 2.0 but I soon decided that I wanted to handwire the matrix and use the PCB as...

A seller in Germany pulled through and got me the keycaps I needed. Many thanks!

Had that Maltron on my watch list for a week now but I'd only buy it to resell so hopefully whoever bought it gets some good use out of it! I only posted it so I would not buy it myself ;) I allready have a kinesis contoured, I don't think I could learn yet another physical layout ... Which is at t...

What is the rule for others country ?

I've only had 3 AEKII's (all late model UK/ISO variants, assembled in Ireland) and they all had white damped switches.

Still need the keys.

Definitely sounds like a membrane issue. Double check that the ribbon connector/header isn't corroded as this will most likely cause issues.

Half of the switches are soldered in but I'm having issues with 2 or 3 terminals being too short as they snapped during desoldering so I might have to bore out a few PCB holes. Sorry for the constant teasers but I've at least gotta show this off before I finish soldering (I know, seems a bit silly t...

I didn't know about keyboardco. I had a look and sadly seems that they don't sell individual specific caps but still useful if I need other bits so thanks for that.

I'll let you know what happens Icarium!

PM'd

How much would you looking to get for it?

Finally got the switches back in the plate! now I need to decide if I handwire it or use the PCB + a converter. My issue with handwiring is that pulling the keycaps will result in the switches coming out. On the other hand, half of the traces are gone on the PCB so I may end up using the PCB but par...

Another Univac board (missing a key). If only one of these would come up in the UK...

Thanks! I hate putting projects off. I've also had to halt my music too which is sad but that's just how life goes. I'm glad I came back to this build since I ended up selling a Model F as parts because I didn't have time to finish it.

Hi again! Can't believe I left the project this long but uni work was (still is) a priority so I had to set some projects aside. I've finally decided to get back to work after an unfortunate incident with alcohol which ruined my main board leaving me with a grotty G80 as my daily driver. I'm somewha...

Looking to buy 3 Model M caps (CTRL, number pad asterisk and dot), ideally from someone in Europe. I know that Unicomp sells individual caps but postage cost and time is a turnoff.

Feels like I have seen this Focus 727 with Blue Alps appearing on Ebay many times within few months from the same seller in Ireland. And maybe the seller has just had many of these, but few times I have bid on his/her Blue Alps board, then it gets relisted for much higher price, disappers, gets rel...

Looking to buy a Wang 725-3770/3771 as I still deeply regret selling mine over a year ago. Any switch/layout/condition is fine but ideally I'd like one in fair to good condition. I also don't mind one without keycaps or a cable. Alternatively, I'm interested in other salmon/orange Alps boards (non-A...

Hi everyone, sorry for my recent inactivity. I've been busy with uni and sadly haven't come by interesting keyboards or so I thought until I bought this interesting specimen. It contains Rafi RS 76 M switches which are full travel mechanical contact. They don't feel awful but they have a mushy and i...

Edit: snagged another Wyse board with all the caps so I no longer need the cap.

I'm looking for a Wyse cherry mount F6 key as well as an escape key (not prioritizing the escape but I'd like it for a custom layout I want to do on a WY-85 board)

Thanks!

I think it's safe to say that it is just a protective film (which will stay on ;D ). Thanks for confirming that other UK made M's have domed badges. I'd totally buy a custom gold badge but I think I'd need to own a black model F firsthand... Step 1. Get Model F Step 2. Paint black and apply gold ba...

That badge definitely looks similar to mine especially the faint vertical lines (not sure if that's on all square M badges). I'm guessing there was some overlap in the timeline of production but I'm still unsure how uncommon my badge is and more importantly what the history behind it is. Once I get ...

Here are a few more images: I tried to get a good shot of the side but it is hard to tell if it is domed. You can see slight warping in the lettering which indicates the badge might not be flat.
